John 12

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.	1 Ο Ιησους λοιπον προ εξ ημερων του πασχα ηλθεν εις Βηθανιαν, οπου ητο ο Λαζαρος ο αποθανων, τον οποιον ανεστησεν εκ νεκρων.
2 They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him.	2 Και εκαμαν εις αυτον δειπνον εκει, και η Μαρθα υπηρετει? ο δε Λαζαρος ητο εις εκ των συγκαθημενων μετ' αυτου.
3 Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.	3 Τοτε η Μαρια, λαβουσα μιαν λιτραν μυρου ναρδου καθαρας πολυτιμου, ηλειψε τους ποδας του Ιησου και με τας τριχας αυτης εσπογγισε τους ποδας αυτου? η δε οικια επλησθη εκ της οσμης του μυρου.
4 Then Judas the Iscariot, one (of) his disciples, and the one who would betray him, said,	4 Λεγει λοιπον εις εκ των μαθητων αυτου, ο Ιουδας Σιμωνος ο Ισκαριωτης, οστις εμελλε να παραδωση αυτον?
5 "Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days' wages and given to the poor?"	5 Δια τι τουτο το μυρον δεν επωληθη τριακοσια δηναρια και εδοθη εις τους πτωχους;
6 He said this not because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief and held the money bag and used to steal the contributions.	6 Ειπε δε τουτο ουχι διοτι εμελεν αυτον περι των πτωχων, αλλα διοτι ητο κλεπτης και ειχε το γλωσσοκομον και εβασταζε τα βαλλομενα εις αυτο.
7 So Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Let her keep this for the day of my burial.	7 Ειπε λοιπον ο Ιησους? Αφες αυτην, εις την ημεραν του ενταφιασμου μου εφυλαξεν αυτο.
8 You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."	8 Διοτι τους πτωχους παντοτε εχετε μεθ' εαυτων, εμε ομως παντοτε δεν εχετε.
9 (The) large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came, not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.	9 Εμαθε δε οχλος πολυς εκ των Ιουδαιων οτι ειναι εκει, και ηλθον ουχι δια τον Ιησουν μονον, αλλα δια να ιδωσι και τον Λαζαρον, τον οποιον ανεστησεν εκ νεκρων.
10 And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,	10 Συνεβουλευθησαν δε οι αρχιερεις, δια να θανατωσωσι και τον Λαζαρον,
11 because many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus because of him.	11 διοτι πολλοι εκ των Ιουδαιων δι' αυτον υπηγαινον και επιστευον εις τον Ιησουν.
12 On the next day, when the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,	12 Τη επαυριον οχλος πολυς ο ελθων εις την εορτην, ακουσαντες οτι ερχεται ο Ιησους εις Ιεροσολυμα,
13 they took palm branches and went out to meet him, and cried out: "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, (even) the king of Israel."	13 ελαβον τα βαια των φοινικων και εξηλθον εις υπαντησιν αυτου και εκραζον? Ωσαννα, ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι Κυριου, ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ.
14 Jesus found an ass and sat upon it, as is written:	14 Ευρων δε ο Ιησους οναριον, εκαθησεν επ' αυτο, καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον?
15 "Fear no more, O daughter Zion; see, your king comes, seated upon an ass's colt."	15 Μη φοβου, θυγατερ Σιων? ιδου, ο βασιλευς σου ερχεται καθημενος επι πωλου ονου.
16 His disciples did not understand this at first, but when Jesus had been glorified they remembered that these things were written about him and that they had done this for him.	16 Ταυτα ομως δεν ενοησαν οι μαθηται αυτου κατ' αρχας, αλλ' οτε εδοξασθη ο Ιησους, τοτε ενεθυμηθησαν οτι ταυτα ησαν γεγραμμενα δι ' αυτον, και ταυτα εκαμον εις αυτον.
17 So the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from death continued to testify.	17 Εμαρτυρει λοιπον ο οχλος, ο ων μετ' αυτου οτε εφωναξε τον Λαζαρον εκ του μνημειου και ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων.
18 This was (also) why the crowd went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.	18 Δια τουτο και υπηντησεν αυτον ο οχλος, διοτι ηκουσεν οτι εκαμε το θαυμα τουτο.
19 So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him."	19 Οι Φαρισαιοι λοιπον ειπον προς αλληλους? Βλεπετε οτι δεν ωφελειτε ουδεν; ιδου, ο κοσμος οπισω αυτου υπηγεν.
20 Now there were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast.	20 Ησαν δε τινες Ελληνες μεταξυ των αναβαινοντων δια να προσκυνησωσιν εν τη εορτη.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus."	21 Ουτοι λοιπον ηλθον προς τον Φιλιππον τον απο Βηθσαιδα της Γαλιλαιας, και παρεκαλουν αυτον, λεγοντες? Κυριε, θελομεν να ιδωμεν τον Ιησουν.
22 Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.	22 Ερχεται ο Φιλιππος και λεγει προς τον Ανδρεαν, και παλιν ο Ανδρεας και ο Φιλιππος λεγουσι προς τον Ιησουν.
23 Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.	23 Ο δε Ιησους απεκριθη προς αυτους λεγων? Ηλθεν η ωρα δια να δοξασθη ο Υιος του ανθρωπου.
24 Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.	24 Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω, Εαν ο κοκκος του σιτου δεν πεση εις την γην και αποθανη, αυτος μονος μενει? εαν ομως αποθανη, πολυν καρπον φερει.
25 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.	25 Οστις αγαπα την ψυχην αυτου, θελει απολεση αυτην, και οστις μισει την ψυχην αυτου εν τω κοσμω τουτω, εις ζωην αιωνιον θελει φυλαξει αυτην.
26 Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.	26 Εαν εμε υπηρετη τις, εμε ας ακολουθη, και οπου ειμαι εγω, εκει θελει εισθαι και ο υπηρετης ο εμος? και εαν τις εμε υπηρετη, θελει τιμησει αυτον ο Πατηρ.
27 "I am troubled now. Yet what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.	27 Τωρα η ψυχη μου ειναι τεταραγμενη? και τι να ειπω; Πατερ, σωσον με εκ της ωρας ταυτης. Αλλα δια τουτο ηλθον εις την ωραν ταυτην.
28 Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it and will glorify it again."	28 Πατερ, δοξασον σου το ονομα. Ηλθε λοιπον φωνη εκ του ουρανου? Και εδοξασα και παλιν θελω δοξασει.
29 The crowd there heard it and said it was thunder; but others said, "An angel has spoken to him."	29 Ο οχλος λοιπον ο παρεστως και ακουσας ελεγεν οτι εγεινε βροντη? αλλοι ελεγον? Αγγελος ελαλησε προς αυτον.
30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come for my sake but for yours.	30 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπεν? Η φωνη αυτη δεν εγεινε δι' εμε, αλλα δια σας.
31 Now is the time of judgment on this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out.	31 Τωρα ειναι κρισις του κοσμου τουτου, τωρα ο αρχων του κοσμου τουτου θελει εκβληθη εξω.
32 And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself."	32 Και εγω εαν υψωθω εκ της γης, θελω ελκυσει παντας προς εμαυτον.
33 He said this indicating the kind of death he would die.	33 Τουτο δε ελεγε, δεικνυων με ποιον θανατον εμελλε να αποθανη.
34 So the crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"	34 Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο οχλος? ημεις ηκουσαμεν εκ του νομου Οτι ο Χριστος μενει εις τον αιωνα, και πως συ λεγεις Οτι πρεπει να υψωθη ο Υιος του ανθρωπου; τις ειναι ουτος ο Υιος του ανθρωπου;
35 Jesus said to them, "The light will be among you only a little while. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness may not overcome you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where he is going.	35 Ειπε λοιπον προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Ετι ολιγον καιρον το φως ειναι μεθ' υμων? περιπατειτε ενοσω εχετε το φως, δια να μη σας καταφθαση το σκοτος? και οστις περιπατει εν τω σκοτει δεν εξευρει που υπαγει.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of the light."	36 Ενοσω εχετε το φως, πιστευετε εις το φως, δια να γεινητε υιοι του φωτος. Ταυτα ελαλησεν ο Ιησους, και απελθων εκρυφθη απ' αυτων.
37 Although he had performed so many signs in their presence they did not believe in him,	37 Αλλ' ενω εκαμε τοσα θαυματα εμπροσθεν αυτων, δεν επιστευον εις αυτον?
38 in order that the word which Isaiah the prophet spoke might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed our preaching, to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?"	38 δια να πληρωθη ο λογος του προφητου Ησαιου, τον οποιον ειπε? Κυριε, τις επιστευσεν εις το κηρυγμα ημων; και ο βραχιων του Κυριου εις τινα απεκαλυφθη;
39 For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said:	39 Δια τουτο δεν ηδυναντο να πιστευωσι διοτι παλιν ειπεν ο Ησαιας?
40 "He blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not see with their eyes and understand with their heart and be converted, and I would heal them."	40 Ετυφλωσε τους οφθαλμους αυτων και εσκληρυνε την καρδιαν αυτων, δια να μη ιδωσι με τους οφθαλμους και νοησωσι με την καρδιαν και επιστρεψωσι, και ιατρευσω αυτους.
41 Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke about him.	41 Ταυτα ειπεν ο Ησαιας, οτε ειδε την δοξαν αυτου και ελαλησε περι αυτου.
42 Nevertheless, many, even among the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge it openly in order not to be expelled from the synagogue.	42 Αλλ' ομως και εκ των αρχοντων πολλοι επιστευσαν εις αυτον, πλην δια τους Φαρισαιους δεν ωμολογουν, δια να μη γεινωσιν αποσυναγωγοι.
43 For they preferred human praise to the glory of God.	43 Διοτι ηγαπησαν την δοξαν των ανθρωπων μαλλον παρα την δοξαν του Θεου.
44 Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me,	44 Ο δε Ιησους εκραξε και ειπεν? Ο πιστευων εις εμε δεν πιστευει εις εμε, αλλ' εις τον πεμψαντα με,
45 and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.	45 και ο θεωρων εμε θεωρει τον πεμψαντα με.
46 I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.	46 Εγω ηλθον φως εις τον κοσμον, δια να μη μεινη εν τω σκοτει πας ο πιστευων εις εμε.
47 And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world.	47 Και εαν τις ακουση τους λογους μου και δεν πιστευση, εγω δεν κρινω αυτον? διοτι δεν ηλθον δια να κρινω τον κοσμον, αλλα δια να σωσω τον κοσμον.
48 Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day,	48 Ο αθετων εμε και μη δεχομενος τους λογους μου, εχει τον κρινοντα αυτον? ο λογος, τον οποιον ελαλησα, εκεινος θελει κρινει αυτον εν τη εσχατη ημερα?
49 because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak.	49 διοτι εγω απ' εμαυτου δεν ελαλησα, αλλ' ο πεμψας με Πατηρ αυτος μοι εδωκεν εντολην τι να ειπω και τι να λαλησω?
50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father told me."	50 και εξευρω οτι η εντολη αυτου ειναι ζωη αιωνιος. Οσα λοιπον λαλω εγω, καθως μοι ειπεν ο Πατηρ, ουτω λαλω.
